The Ashram Diet: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times

by Anila Chandra, Niraj Chandra

Overview

This book has been thousands of years in the making.
The work began many, many centuries ago in the ashrams (spiritual retreats) of India. The yogis who lived in these ashrams developed the most perfect healthcare system in the world, designed for nurturing the mind, the body and the spirit. This knowledge was passed on from one generation to another, from teacher to disciple.
However, today, very few people outside the ashrams know how to prepare this food correctly. This book is designed to fill the gap in this knowledge, and explains the dietary principles behind the Ashram food. In many ways, these principles are well in advance of anything that the modern science of nutrition has to offer.
